Dan,

I just kept going back into the DMV explaining that I hadn't been able to coordinate schedules and get together with the BAR. (which was true). You'll find that the offices are spread out over the area, and I'd either have to drive to San Diego (75 miles) or up to Huntington Beach (30 Mi) to see the BAR. So they accepted that and gave me four TOP's since I'm generally away for work during the week. I received the last one on Jan 2 when I received my SB 100 sequence no., and they simply handed me another TOP with a big "3" on it for 90 days.

If you like the car, check with your local DMV and see what they will require of you in the way of process and fees. It's pretty much like everyone has said on this thread. Pay the use tax and get TOP's over the course of the year if they don't buy the 1965 Previous registration. My bet is they won't. Most DMV registration managers are getting pretty hip to the kit car thing, and you having some out of state issues, you're most likely not going to be handled by a run of the mill registration tech at the DMV. They will raise their hand and look for the support of their boss who usually makes the call. The quote from Attorney General, Morgester, is on point, it just depends on how each individual DMV manager looks at it.
Continued best wishes and when are we going to see some pictures of this baby?
